ATOMIC KITTEN - ATOMIC KITTEN: HONESTY KEEPS UP CLOSE

British girl group ATOMIC KITTEN put their success down to their ability to be completely honest with each other at all times.

Unlike their arch-rivals SUGABABES, the trio - LIZ McCLARNON, NATASHA HAMILTON and JENNY FROST - have yet to be rocked by reports of in-fighting, and insist their ability to tell each other the truth makes for a harmonious working environment.

Liz says, "I think we're really quite similar people. We're friendly and quite loud and all speak our minds."

Bandmate Jenny adds, "If we have a problem, we just say it. Because we're all open about how we're feeling, I know when one of the others needs space, or when they need cheering up.

"I think our honesty is why we're so close."
